a friend has a theory
when friends sit in a circle
they are more likely to bond
she may be right.
have you ever noticed
when out with friends
how hard it is to talk to the person
sitting beside you in a booth
but round tables
invoke memories of
reading circles and campfires
games of childhood
the place king arthur’s knights swore
to do all things right and just
when you think about it
the overview of our universe is
a spiraling mass of stars and planets
meteors, moons, and atoms.
maybe going round and round
has made them stick together
through thick and thin
